Alberta, one of the largest energy producers in the
world, is responsible for almost one-third of the
total Canadian anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions. These GHG emissions may be contributing to
the current climate change and are caused mainly by
the fossil fuel combustion and fugitive sources. The
Alberta Ministry of Environment has set up a
provincial climate change strategy to reduce GHG
emissions. To assess this strategy, this book
analyzes the international and Albertan energy
markets, the energy research & development efforts of
selected countries, companies, and the province
itself. In addition, Daniel Schoerling evaluates GHG
emission reduction technologies and policies in the
field of electricity generation, oil & gas
production, and transportation relevant to Alberta
and ready for short and mid-term implementation. This
book concludes with profound policy-related
recommendations how Alberta can achieve a sustainable
reduction in GHG emissions. Schoerling's provocative
and pragmatic book was written to help policy makers,
managers, and people interested in sustainable energy
policy to understand and better manage the challenges
caused by climate change.
